Number 6
You guys always give good advise but there are also the very critical people here as well. I thank you all for your good advise. As far as what I am going to do is i already ordered the boards recommended here for IDE/Sata/usb.
I didn't inherited this this AmigaOneXE/G4, I actually bought a collection of Amigas from a collector that passed away. I had 18 Amigas of various models. Since the collector had passed, the son was selling his collection. He told me that he didn't know what this was and it wouldn't boot but he was throughing it in to get rid of it. When I opened it up at home I was like I hit the motherload. The reason it wouldn't boot was because of the CPU mounted at an angle. So I reseated that and I was up and running on 4.0. I then purchased 4.1. This was summer of 2009. 4.1 was limited at that time so it collected dust for the past 4 years.
I was on youtube and saw how 4.1 was now at Upgrade 6 with autoupdates. I watched the 4.1 video and was impressed how they have come along. I am very excited that I finally have an Amiga that is an alternative to Linux and Windoze...again. It is also nice that they and encompassed UAE into the OS so I can use and Amiga to run my Classic stuff instead of on Linux,droid, and Windoze. that is a novel concept.
I have been a faithful amiga user since 1988 with my 2000HD then 4000. Through all those years I have never seen any of the companies that housed Amiga ever listen to the community. They always did what they thought was best and where has it gotten them. There should be a partnership formed between the Cult Following and the companies that own rights and licenses.
I like this concept of the "bounty". With the following Amiga still has if there were some way to create a membership with dues and those dues went toward R and D. Then you had a membership to Hyperion's website and I got to download updates, new OS and applications for my dues paid, I would do it. Somebody has to pay for it.
My hat is off to Hyperion as they are the only ones that I see moving forward Amiga forward.
Sorry I am a little off topic.
